Gianni Origin and Meaning

The name Gianni is a girl's name meaning "God is gracious".

Traditionally a masculine Italian boy name, a diminutive to Giovanni, equivalent to Johnny, it has started to be used for girls in the US, with 251 being given this appellation in 2021. While it has declined in use since then, the most recent year still saw it given to 200 girls.

While the gender neutral names trend is familiar in the US, beware that it hasn't spread internationally. A female Gianni travelling through Europe is likely to be met with more confusion than she might do at home.

Usually pronounced JAHN-nee, English speakers may well say jee-AHN-ee if use of Gianna is anything to go by.
